That torrent is an "art piece" the creator made to raise awareness of NFTs. This video shows an interview with the artist who created that project: https://youtu.be/i_VsgT5gfMc

The first half of the video (and the overall reason for creating that torrent) is exaggerated and over-generalizes what NFTs are in order to claim "a problem" with them, but the second half does have a good discussion about the technology itself (educating users that scams exist in any technology, and because it's new and different, there's less guardrails to help users avoid scams automatically, so you need to be vigilant yourself).
